Guide · Time
1-2 days for the work itself. It is a workshop job, so add recovery time in each direction; we collect and return the car rather than asking you to drive it.
The honest answer to how long a paint repair takes has two halves: the work, which is predictable, and everything around it, which is where the day actually goes. Here is both.
1-2 days on a car with nothing unusual about it. That figure assumes the diagnosis is already done and the right parts are on the van or the shelf — which is why we confirm the car and the fault on the call rather than discovering both on arrival.
A seized fastener, a part that has to be ordered, or a second fault found while the first is being fixed. We tell you as soon as we know rather than at the end, and if the extra work changes the price you agree to the new number before we carry on.
A touch-up pen leaves a raised blob of unlevelled paint that catches light differently and is harder to repair properly than the original chip. If you care how the panel looks, leave the chip alone until it can be filled, levelled and cleared.
We run 24/7, every day, and there is no night or holiday surcharge. For a workshop job it means recovery can happen out of hours even when the work itself waits for the morning.
1-2 days for the work. Recovery to the workshop and back is included in that arrangement rather than billed separately.
Often yes. If the damage is localised, we can fill, colour and blend within the panel. Long scratches crossing a body line usually need the full panel to look right.
A localised repair is typically one to two days including cure time. We do not rush the cure — paint that has not hardened marks the first time you wash it.
Fresh paint is more UV-resistant than the surrounding sun-aged paint, so if anything the repair holds up better. Matching is done against the actual panel, not the code alone, so it starts invisible.
Call, or send your location on WhatsApp. We will tell you the price before we set off.
